150k people voted.
And yet they're so concerned about democracy. Is there any wonder the label "NPC" has caught on for people like this?
Well only Liberal Party members were allowed to vote. Rather than just calling an election when Trudeau said he was stepping down they prorogued parliament for 8 weeks and had this farcical leadership race so they could install the person they wanted to run in the general election later this year.

Aren't they one of the major parties in Canada though? Like the Democratic Party in the US?
Then again, I guess no one really voted for the Democratic Party candidate in the US either lol (Kamala)

Yes, they currently the party in power. I think there are 400k total members across the country but only 150k voted. Most probably didn't bother because they knew they who was going to win. Like in the US the machine gets who the machine wants.
